Probably, but side striping was introduced as a safety idea. Part of the argument against striping was based on the concept that it would not improve safety, but regulating speed by impairing a vehicle would, in the belief that speed was the major cause of safety issue, not visibility. So while it probably deserves it's own thread, it also has relevance to this one.

Let me ask you a question....Mleeja.

Do you think a center line would accomplish the same thing as side stripping?

I was referring to the MMP not a highway. Comparing the two is apples and oranges.

Poster said he was fearful.

It's been beat to death on more than one thread.

How so??? In both cases your travel time is essentially doubling due to the ineptness of the other driver, who should probably be driving a tricycle in the first place.

I'm with Mleeja...very little relevance. Speed limits never have and never should (imo of course) be a factor in the performance of any vehicle.

Safe passing is a legitimate reason to moderately and briefly exceed the speed limit. Emergencies is another. But even without these situations, governing the vehicle based on a somewhat arbitrary, variable, and very possibly changing speed limit is a very bad idea.

So, in other words, you agree with me.

About the need to pass safely? Sure.

Agreed. Which is the main reason it makes little sense to put governors on carts at 20 mph when that it is the speed limit. Would you buy a car that could never go more than 65 MPH?

Are you directing that comment to me? I've expressed my agreement that vehicle speed governors is a very bad idea. :)

I am a supporter of striping. I've made this quite clear in my comments. (I have ZERO association with the POA) The issue generating the discussion is side striping. Do I think a center stripe could accomplish the same as side striping, yes and no. A center stripe will certainly provide a reference for the driver in darkness and rainy weather while defining the "lanes". Where the center stripe has its shortcomings is when you have on coming headlights blinding you. You will naturally look away from the light. Having the side stripe will provide a point of reference for the right hand side of the MMP.

The reflective nature of the stripes will define the path ahead of you far more than just with your headlights on the current MPPs. On several occasions I have offered to meet anyone at 6:30 in the morning. We would take a drive down the MMP on El Camino, then down Enrique Drive where the cart lane is marked with a reflective stripe to demonstrate how much better and further you can see the cart lane. To date no takers....

In utopia, we would have both center and side striping. In TV, except for district 4 where there is a center stripe, we have neither.

The latest plan by TV is a good alternative. I will support this plan as it will improve safety on the MMPs.

The agreed part was for you. The governor comment was for the one who originally suggested it. The car comment was for general consumption

Ahh. :)

345 posts. Does everyone agree on center striping as a compromise? :popcorn:
